TV Marathons, Oscars and My Birthday Present

I know, I know..how boring! lol

But.. coming over here i have missed a whole lot of episodes of my fave shows so i decided to find them online and watch (most) of them!

And i have (kinda).. im all caught up with Chuck, bar the 1st 3 episodes.. Bones's latest episodes- shame i couldnt find the earlier ones.. many more too.. apart from my fave show... Gossip Girl. i didnt even get to finish the first season! So im prayin that they might show a marathon from season 1-2..unlikely but i can hope right?

So yeah that was pretty much my weekend.. although i cleaned my room cos it was messy!

Ohh and good news.. my (step) dad from back home is buying me this camera this my bday!!

Isnt it gorgous!! Its the Canon SD 880 IS in Gold of course! And he say's that it could be a very early bday pressie! Cos my bday isn't untill end of April.. He'll buy it online (from an american shop) and just get in shipped to me.. Ahh im sooo Excited!!

Anyway.. ive got classes tomorrow along with my 3rd (and final) Grammar workshop.. There were 5 but i had to miss to cos of my classes.. It's extra credit for english and its easy..

I soo can't wait for the oscars.. im gonna record it so i can watch it during my break between class and the workshop.. I really want Kate Winslet to win, i love her! My bff rach told me i look like her along with a few others as well! *How Cool?* lol.
I don't think she'll win i think Meryl Streep will beat her (hope not).. I dont Brad Pitt to win or Angelena Jolie.. I mainly just watch for the fashions!!

Logging out for now..this is long enough. xoxo

Indoor Picnic and Babysitting..

So that family picnic that i mentioned previously, well it was meant to be this weekend after it was postponed last weekend cos of the rain.. I have now heard it is being moved to my grandma's house because it is forecaste to rain yet again this weekend! So i have now renamed it the Indoor family Picnic- lol! Surprisingly i haven't yet been out to my grandparents house! But I've only been here 2 and a half months!!

Gosh that has gone so quick! I can't believe i have been living in America for over 2 months! I got here 2 days before Thanksgiving, because i was adamant that i would get to experience a Thanksgiving holiday.. We don't celebrate that in good ol' NZ.

Yes! Hahaha, i'm babysitting! One of the Cub Scouts mum's has asked me to babysit her 2 boys- their around the same age as my half brothers. Though i'm not sure what the going rate is now haha.. My cousin says $8-10.. Thoughts???

I was soo happy! I finished my Reaction Summary Paragraphs paper for English, 10min ago! It's due tomorrow.. Ahh it was soo tedious.. but at least its dunzo!

Gosh my blog posts are getting longer! So that is a sign to stop writing i guess!!

Stressed but Chilled

I was stressing out this moring! Haha great start to my blog and to my day.. Anyway i had to hand in my CIS assignment today and the inter ran out of ink!! Luckily my Professor is nice and let me print everything i needed so i was able to de-stress lol, also we had a big conversation about the devastating fires in Victoria, Australia.. 180+ dead.. That is just soo sad!

I just went onto Blackboard and saw i passed my assignment 100/100! Also we had our first exam and i got 96/100! How cool is that! It was soo easy, multiple choice answers haha and that assignment was a cake walk! So don't have me pegged as a goody-goody, my friends from high school would defo set yah straight! I was the girl who left her homework to the last minute, didn' bother to hand it in or just didn't do it. That would be why i didn't pass NCEA Level 2. I have had a major attitude change with starting college. But.. i still leave my homework to the last day! Hey, i can't change over night!

So, haha i have 2 really cute guys in my english class but i don't think they even notice me.. but maybe thats a good thing- no distractions!

Listening to The Feelers, great kiwi band!

The feeling of...

Homesickness..

Doesn't it suck! I mean as much as i love being over here in the states i don't think it's ever going to truely be my home.. The only communication i have to my mummy is email! I miss talking to her so much! She's my best friend and i miss seeing her everyday and i don't know when im gonna go back home.. okay i should stop talking about that 'cos my words are going a bit blurry.

Well, i finished my 2nd week in college today- thank heaven i didn't pick classes for Fridays! I'm not really happy about an assignment i handed in today, i think i might fail.. Don't get me wrong i want to pass! And the most disapointing thing is that i don't have cute boys in my classes!

Though my mum has started telling me in our emails.. "Not to fall head over heels for the first American guy i meet".. haha! Doesn't matter cos i think European accents are way hotter!

Ok, so i've been feeling like crap since Tuesday night and i don't know how i caught a cold! So at the moment i'm really hating my nose!!!
